most sacred:

That I will be loyal to the profession of medicine
and just and generous to its members;

That I will lead my life and practice my art in
uprightness and in honor;

That into whatsoever house I shall enter, it shall
be for the good of the sick to the utmost of my

power, holding myself far aloof from wrong,
from corruption, from the tempting of others to

vice;

That I will exercise my art solely for the benefit

of my patients, and will give no drug, or perform

no operation, for a criminal purpose, even if

solicited, far less suggest it;

That whatsoever I shall see or hear of the lives

of patients which is not fitting to be spoken, I will

keep inviolably secret.

These things I do swear or affirm.

FACULTY 20

Welcome

rexel N

D»

» of Mtmcm

I hether it was accepting us off the waitlist the day

before orientation, or granting an extra travel day
during our Sub-/ for that last residency interview,
the Drexel University College of Medicine's faculty
and staff have provided continuous support and
encouragement throughout the past four years. The
Deans have provided endless guidance, the faculty
has taught us the foundations and principals of
medicine, and our attending physicians have
emulated the art of patient interaction and care. All
their hard work has not gone unnoticed, and we, as
students, owe them everything for making these four
years great. Thank you to all the amazing teachers
and good friends we have made along the way as
we, the Class of 2010, have grown from students
into physicians.

•inally, it's our time to rule the school. But first, we
must complete our ERAS application, take the
USMLE Step 2 CK and CS, pass our medicine sub-
internship and neurology shelf, and fill out one last
survey. Then, we can coast for the rest of the year and
take that Spanish rotation in Costa Rica or vacation
in the Dominican Republic, Africa, or California
before we cross our fingers and pray to a god during
Match Day. If only we could stay seniors for another
one or two years....

Someone once told me "You cannot be really great at your work, if your work is all you are."
To that, I must thank all of the people who have made me who I am today.

First and foremost, to my family for knowing that this was the road 1 was destined to take
;ven before I had fully realized it myself but still allowed me to find my own way
lonetheless. I am so lucky to have your unconditional love and support as reminders of what
s most important in life.

To my girlies, thank you for helping me laugh my way through all the ups and downs over
he past four years. I am so glad that the infamous time "before we knew each other" was
jrief, because nothing about med school would have been the same without the three of you
>y my side.

To all my friends both near and far who supported me through this crazy life even without
cnowing what med students do all day, 1 will always appreciate your encouraging words and
'aith in me.

To my Drexel peers, it is hard to believe that this day has finally come. I am so grateful for
he amazing friendships I have gained during even the most stressful of times and under the
Tiost unlikely of circumstances. Each one will remain dear to me for many years to come. I
vish you all the best of luck in everything that you do.

I had an awesome time in Philadelphia. If I could do it over, I would
totally do the whole "East Coast experience" again. ..minus the med
school thing. Haha. Somebody asked me what the biggest thing that
I would miss about Philly, and I'm going to miss all of the people
that I met. Good peeps = good times. It's crazy to think that we're
doctors now. It feels like we just started last year. The four years at
Drexel has gone by so fast. But I'm hella looking forward to starting
residency. If anybody's going to visit California, holla!

Thank you to my parents for all their support throughout medical
chool and all of my 25 years of education. Thank you to my
brother and sister for their company and many visits to
Philadelphia, and for their relentless support. And thank you
especially to my husband Parth for walking through this long
journey with me, for keeping me sane through late nights of
tudying and hard days on rotations. I could never have done this
without you. I am so lucky to have found my lifelong partner at
Drexel.

I can't believe this day is finally here. Congratulations to the class

I want to thank my amazing parents, Abdi and Leily, for their
constant love and support. Your passion for life and love for all has
truly made me the compassionate person I am today. 1 am grateful to
jhave such an amazing aunt and uncle, Merhzad and Mohammad,
who have done nothing less than love me and treat me like a son. I
am fortunate to have a best friend as a brother who has always been
there for me through all the difficult parts of my life. Rashid, I wish
you the best in residency and can not wait for more exciting times
for both of us in the future. To my sweet and caring younger sister,
Tannaz, you have motivated me and inspired me more than you
know. I will never forget our long drives and conversations. To my
other sister and cousin, Zahra, I would like to thank for always being
the voice of reason. Even though you are only a few months younger
then me, you are wise beyond your years. Thank you from the
deepest part of my heart.

Thank you tor believing in me.

And Death Shall Have No Dominion

And death shall have no dominion. Dead mean naked they shall be one

With the man in the wind and the west moon; When their bones are picked clean and the

clean bones gone.

They shall have stars at elbow and foot: Though they go mad the) shall be sane.

Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again; Though lovers be lost love shall not:

And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion. Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily; Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break; Faith in their hands shall snap in two.
And the unicorn evils run them through: Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.

And death shall have no dominion. No more may gulls cry at their ears

Or waves break loud on the seashores; Where blew a flower may a flower no more

Lift its head to the blows of the rain; Though they be mad and dead as nails.

Heads of the characters hammer through daisies; Break in the sun till the sun breaks down.

And death shall have no dominion.

Dearest family and friends.

I am so happy to finally be done with school! Although this has been a
long and hard journey it was well worth it. I remember those many hours
studying with J. Ro and Christof just trying to survive the next test. I will
never forget how Justin stabbed me in anatomy and when my cell fell from
the table in a cup of water on the floor at Buck's county coffee. Going to
D.R. was so much fun too! I feel so fortunate to have made good friends
and to have accomplished everything I wanted to in medical school. 2010
has certainly been the best year ever because I am graduating, getting
married, and starting my first choice internship all in the same year. Of;
course, I would have never made it this far if it weren't for my parentals,
Juan and Luisa, who I love very much. I also want to thank my sweettart
Ramin who has made these last three years the best of my life. Good luck
to everyone and I wish you all the happiness and prosperity in the coming
years.

Hugs and kisses, Lorraine

To those who helped make a doctor out of me: Thank you!

To Mom, Pa, Kisa. Ingrid, Greta, Grandma and Grandpa, who sometimes
didn't hear from me for weeks: You kept sending mail, love, and banana
bread, and only asked for an occasional proof of life. I love you, my
cheeseheads!

To the rest of my WI fan club: thanks for understanding that when I came
home for break, all I wanted to do was sleep. I hope I can make it up to
you!

To my girls: CONGRATULATIONS, doctors! It's all downhill from here!
You have been my home away from home, my fun times, and the best
girlfriends anyone could ask for.

To M, who has been my strength, my understanding, and my confidence:
You make everything easier and that is the greatest gift. Congratulations to
you on finishing your residency!

Mom when I struggled and got down on myself, you were always
there to listen and lift my confidence. You never stopped believing
jin me or my ability to succeed. Dad - though the words have been
few, you have always supported anything of I have ever dreamed of
doing without hesitation. Caren I wish I could have been as
successful in medical school as you are in school right now. We
will always share a special bond despite distance. Jeff & Sharon

you always made me feel special because you were so proud. I miss
you. To Christopher: You have been my rock, my sounding board

My journey thru medical school has been life-altering. I have matured, met
the person I am ready to spend the rest of my life with, and I have met
wonderful and lifelong friends. None of which could not have been
possible without my family. Their encouragement and belief in me gave
me the confidence to move cross-country to make my dreams come true.
To my step-father Rick, you have always been the quiet strength in my life
and the one I can count on. To my brother Caden, leaving you at the age of
4 was incredibly hard and I thank you for taking our separation with a
smile and optimism for the future. To my mother, you have been the
example that has inspired me, the person to push me when I needed it, and
the confidant who always dispensed advice with insight and honesty.
Lastly, to the love of my life... Jamen, I can't imagine my future without
you in it. You are truly my best friend and soul mate, I wasn't even sure I
believed in that until I met you. Carol, Greg, and Casey thanks for being
the best future in-laws, I appreciate your support of our relationship. Uncle
Richard & Aunt Michelle thanks for your support and grandma Reiko you
are such an inspiration. My future looks bright thanks to all of you.

The LORD is merciful and gracious,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love...
He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

absence when I could not get away. I love spending time with
Joey, and watching Ben take on everything in his path. Mom and i
Dad, you have been great listeners and friends. I am grateful for I
the time we have spent together. I could not have been as
successful as I am without all of you.

To Brian: Sometimes I cannot find the words to tell you how I
feel. I believed when I married you that together we could
overcome any challenge. There were times when my stress
seemed to fill our home, but you could always rein me in and
calm me down. You have this incredible skill of balancing our
lives. I am fortunate to have you with me, and am excited for ourjj
future together. I love you Red Beard.

I would like to thank:

My mom and dad for giving me the ability to spring right up, even after

I've fallen so hard;

My HI bro and sis for your unspoken yet blanketingly tangible confidence

in my ability to succeed;

My roommate for helping me gracefully enjoy a 25 handicap;

My favorite attending physician for somehow constantly making my aim

feel true;

My Saturday morning warriors for allowing me to release the green fire

from the proverbial furnace;

My favorite dinner buddies for the near-weekly Sang Kee duck and the

once-in-a-lifetime Vetri indulgence;

All the rest of my beloved for seeing and loving me as I truly am.

I am certainly blessed and rich in life. I hope someday I can give back as
much as I have received as a son, brother, friend, and doctor. Impossible'

gracias, no lo podria haber logrado sin ustedes! Los quiero muchisimo. It's beer
long journey and I am glad good things are happening this year.

I wish the best to all of the friends I made in medical school. I moved to this citi
expecting to meet nice school friends at best and ended up meeting people that
will be my best friends for life. I am sad that we are all going our separate ways
but confident that everyone will do great no matter what path we follow. I will
miss all of you so let's keep in touch!

Patrick, I love you and want to thank you for helping me get through every sing

I would like to thank everyone in my life that has made my
graduation from medical school possible. First, I would like to
thank God for giving me the inspiration to pursue medicine as a
career. Next I must thank all of my family members especially my|
parents and my sister Millie who helped and supported me since I ]
was a child. The love and unfettering support of my parents and
Millie made this day possible. I also owe a lot of this day to my wij
whom I met during my medical school days at Drexel. My wife
Nisha has been a great companion during our medical school yearsf
and I can easily say the best thing to happen to me during medical I
school was meeting and ultimately marrying Nisha during my time
at Drexel. I must also thank members of my extended family that I
have supported me and made me who I am. Lastly, I would like to!
thank my wife's family for giving me love and support during my
years in school.

Good luck to members of the class of 2010!!!

Ifelt an instant connection to DUCOM when I interviewed here not
lb long ago. I could tell that it was a school that appreciated the
pique individuals of the applicant pool. After the initial
hcomfortable adjustment period, I quickly realized what a true gem I
id been blessed with. Interacting with so many people from teachers
1 students who were sincere in their desire to help people has been
bspiring and motivating on a daily basis.

jo my parents who had an unnervingly steadfast belief in me, a belief
iat I didn't always share. It has finally paid off.

Ion Kotlar, study buddy extraordinaire. I didn't realize how similar
e were until we made our pact over a La Chouffe at O'neil's. Your
>Mtive influence on my career and life are indescribable. I send
lany blessings to you and your family in your new winter paradise.

iO all the other DUCOMers I am forever indebted for your support,
jmor, and inspiration.

Thank you God for seeing me through. I don't know what the futui

holds, but You hold the future so I don't have to worry.

To my family: I wanted to be a traveling singer, piano player,

doctor. . . Most of those other things fell by the wayside, but the

desire to be a doctor didn't. I'm not sure if any of us knew what I

was getting into, but we made it through! Thanks for sticking with

me through all the adventures of med school!! Love you!

To my friends: You are all amazing and I'm so happy to have met

you! You made this experience so much better just by being here, i

You'll all be great doctors and I'll see most of you in Cali in a few

years!

To Drew: Med school has been crazy, but we found each other, and

couldn't be happier. Thanks for your support, patience, and all the jl

fun you added to my life. God has a plan for us, and it's gonna be ;,

good one. Love you! ! ! Also, thanks to your family for welcoming

me in. . .I'm very excited for the future!

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right,
jrget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason.
lobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. Great

Life is never too busy for a good cry, a conversation, and a comforting hug.
When 1 stand before God at the end of my life, I hope that I would have not a

I can't believe how quickly these past 4 years flew by! It
has been such an exciting journey to get to this point.
First, I'd like to thank my parents for encouraging me to
always do my best and become the person they always
knew I was capable of becoming. I'd like to thank my
sister and brother for their love, support, and most
importantly, laughter! I also want to thank John Paul, wh
has become my best friend and partner. He has been then
for all the highs and low during medical school. Finally, '
want to thank all the close friends I met in school who
made this entire process so memorable and have become
like a family to me.

I feel tremendous gratitude (and relief) for having made it through]
medical school and a year of service abroad during these last five
years. This task could not have been accomplished without the
constant support and occasional emotional resuscitation by friends
and family members. Much like this time five years ago, I'm off to
new city (Indianapolis), except this time it's to become expert at
removing peas from kids' noses. Best wishes to all of those dear

I still remember walking into Aud A for our first exam and hearing Dr. Ferr
say, "The national board sets a pace of 1.2 minutes per question..." -her voice
trailed off as I thought to myself, "What in the world have I gotten into?" Four
years later I'm still not sure I know the answer to that but it's definitely been
without question the most interesting four years of my life. Actually, I think w
all know that "interesting" would be an understatement. The last 4 years have
been a complete blur and after the countless sleepless nights, empty coffee cup!
and burned out highlighters, we can finally say that we are doctors.
Congratulations to everyone!

For my friends: thanks for making mnemonics interesting, but more
importantly, I think it's safe to say that we've been through it all together. Let'
be honest -there's probably a few things that I would change, but if I had do it
again, I wouldn't have gone through it all with anyone else except you guys. If
haven't said it yet, thank you for being there, being supportive, and being
yourselves through all the madness. . .thanks for everything. You made these
exciting and I will never forget you all for that. I know we still have tons of grel
times together still to come, so before you get all teary eyed and emo, remembel
one last thing: get sooped!

Hey Class of 20 10!

These last four years have been amazing and I want to thank all of you for thj
fantastic times I have had. From first starting out and helping each other throug
the seemingly never-ending slew of tests, and then moving on to our clinical ye*]
where we had to support one another with residents, attendings, and patients, ou(
time together has been very memorable!

I want to thank our amazing professors! Without your time and patience m
would not be the doctors we are today. You provided us with a wealth of
knowledge that will enable us to be great physicians and for that I thank you.

Thank you also to Kate, Jane, Dianna, Sara, Meg, Caroline and Michelle. Y
ladies have made my years here so much better. I know I could always rely on
you girls for anything, I can't wait to hear about all of your adventures in
residency.

The last and most important thank yous go to my family. To Davidson, Mon
Dad and Craig: I love you all so much, I could have never made it here without
your constant encouragement and unfailing belief that I would one day reach thi
moment.

Good luck Class of 2010, you will all make excellent physicians and I am so
lucky to have worked with you. I can't wait to work with some of you in the
future.

I want to give a special thanks to my husband, Nick, who has been so incredibly

supportive of my dream of going to medical school ever since we ate lunch that

day at Canyon Cafe. I couldn't have done it without you.

Thanks to Aiden, and even Mia though she doesn't know any differently yet, for

being such great kids and putting up with all the times you missed me because I

was at school or studying.

Thanks to all of my family, both Shaw and Tustison alike, for your support and

encouragement through the years.

Thanks to my amazing group of friends who at times pulled me through first and

second year classes, and then drove me around, reminded me when we had

rounds, and dragged me through rotations and studying for shelves. I truly never

would have gotten through without you guys.

1 also have to include a little note to my peeps in student affairs who just made m

life better all along the way. I am so grateful to have met, known, loved, and

worked with all of you.

So many of you have made a difference in my life, and I will forever be changed

because I knew you. Thank you all!

have brought about such change in me. I truly believe that I have
found my calling, in a place that has enabled me to blossom as I
never thought I would.

I would like to thank my family for supporting me, although they
were on the other side of the country. I could not have come this fa
without them. I would also like to thank my fellow students for
becoming my friends and nurturing me into an eager new physiciar
and caring person. And to Anthony, your love has given me a sense
of belonging and a new family so far away from my own. I am so
glad that we were brought together and I am looking forward to
many years to come.

To my Drexel friends- These past four years have been amazing!

We have done everything from guided battlefield tours, to

The past four years have been some of the most difficult and yet
[rewarding in my life. I want to thank my mom, dad, sister, and cousins for their
endless support and encouragement. Thank you for bringing me food until I
learned to cook, for bleaching the germs out of my white coat, and for giving
me perspective during difficult times. You were all instrumental in helping me
finally answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up" and
actually making it happen.

I want to thank my friends for going through every hoop and obstacle with me.
For those outside of medicine, thank you for being my link to reality. Past
graduates, thank you for letting me know that each time I felt the world was
going to end it would always keep spinning. To my classmates, thank you for
the late night coffee breaks and other shenanigans. Thank you for letting me
monopolize the microphone during sessions of guitar hero. Thank you for
forcing me on trips to New York during thunderstorms when I only had a single
\\ eekend off. Ultimately, thank you for making my medical school journey
worthwhile and something to remember. Congratulations class of 2010!

Candid Class ^Moments

n between studying for exams, coffee trips, and
on-call nights during clinical rotations, we
managed to have a lot of fun together as a class.
We partied the night away at welcome back
dances, got all dressed up for halloweens, over-
celebrated at class socials, and strutted our stuff
on stage at P ABC's. We certainly knew how to
work hard and play harder. The photos in the next
pages captured many smiles and laughs, an
occasional tear, as well as an embarrassing dance
move or two, but one thing is for certain, these
candid class photographs captured a lot of
fantastic memories. ..

only one week remaining before the end of
edical school, the culmination of years, if not
^decades, of hard work and dedication is bittersweet to
say the least. Through four years of medical school,
we all faced struggles that could not have been
overcome without the friends and colleagues that we
made along the way. Though graduation week is a
time to rejoice in our accomplishments, it is also a
time to thank our families for their support, and
remind our friends that this journey could only have
been accomplished with them at our side.

Words of Congratulations

uri
I hy/e

ur\ng our long road to graduation, many people
h<Je influenced our lives; friends, family, professors,
and mentors. Commencement is an important day for
us, serving as the culmination of many years of
schooling, hard work, and late nights cramming.
However graduation also serves as a shining moment
for everyone else who supported us along our journey
to M.D. In these next few pages, you will find words
of congratulations, memories from childhood, as well
as words of inspiration and advice, but most
importantly, these pages are a chance for friends and
family to say "We are so proud of you... "

Dear Marielle,

"Virtue is the center of all the felicities...
Virtue is the sun of the microcosm, and has
for hemisphere a good conscience. She is
so beautiful she finds favor with both God
and man..."

You have always amazed us Marielle with
your tenacity to achieve, with your desire to
see a better world, and your willingness to
put comforts aside in trying to make it so.
There is devotion in your eyes and yearning
for humanity to do better in caring for the
weakest among us.

It is, in a word, your virtue that we see you
striving for. And you are special with that
beauty blooming in your soul.

Love,

Dad, Mom, Kristen, and Jonathan

Clif,

Years ago a physician told me that when you are
a doctor, you have a chance to touch many
people in life, some for more and some for less.
It is a thought that gives you pause but we know
they will be better for knowing you since you are a
wonderful person.

-Mom, Dad, Jenny
